What would you do?

You can't put him on 2 pair like that. You can't always imagine worst case scenario. I actually think it is more likely that he had a set but he could have had a flush draw and very likely he could have had an open ended straight draw. Even a made straight with Ace 3, or very likely Ace 5 giving him top pair with a gutshot.

Very good chance he had an over pair to the board but under something that he is willing to go all in preflop. Such as 6s giving him a gut shot, 7s maybe even 8s. If he had those then you just picked up 6 more outs. There are so many things he could have.

You have to weigh the possible range of hands he could have, influenced by the actions he took pre-flop and post-flop.

Then you have to look at your situation. You left out one of the most important pieces of information, your stack size.

If the call is going to cripple you or knock you out then I would probably fold. Only because I would believe that Pokerponed must believe that you are pot committed at that point and that you are calling with a good hand and he has a monster. However, I don't know his read on you. Maybe he believes that you can't handle the pressure and that you will fold to a big raise. I wish I was at the table to see it unfold.

I disagree with the last paragraph here. Considering how much is in the pot, if he'd to fold/be crippled afterwards, he's leaving less than 20-25 bbs behind without calling. Why make yourself desperate?

I really think he has to call if he doesn't have 35-45 bbs behind; the reason there being how mobile his chip stack is and how immobile it will be without the chips needed to call.

But if he's that short he seriously needs to just go for it and pray in my opinion.
